Trying to lose weight? Do you find it hard to know whether a food is good for you or not? Well here are 5 of the worst foods when dieting. Try and avoid them as much as possible and you’ll start to see results instantly.

Food #1: Ice cream tastes great but eat to much and the softness of the ice cream (mainly from saturated fat) will just be tacked around your body somewhere. Look for fat free alternatives, fruit sorbets or sugar/fat free frozen yoghurt’s instead.

Food #2: Deep fried foods are a fat explosion waiting to enter your body. Each tablespoon of oil contains around 120 calories so think about deep fried take away foods and how much oil they’ve absorbed in the cooking process, not to mention that most places reuse their oil over and over again, so the healthy value is zero. Grilled alternative are always better.

Food #3: Pastries/Donuts normally mix highly refined white flour and sugars with fats, such as butter and/or oil. Needless I say more. Watch out here as one may not be enough – this is the addiction that those combination of fattening ingredients cause.

Food #4: White sugar, chocolate, sweets once again combine refined carbohydrates with high amounts of fat. The carbs spike you blood sugar levels, which gives the perfect opportunity for the fats in the foods to enter the blood circulation…ready to end up around your body. If you must, treat yourself once or twice (no more) a week, by rewarding your healthy eating and/or regular exercise.

Food #5: Soda, Colas and Fizzy Drinks are great if you’d like to drink 10 or more teaspoons of highly refined sugars. Sodas may make you feel full because of the air bubble within them, but the sugars in them will give you a small blood sugar spike giving you energy for the first 1/2 hour, and then causing you to become hungry and want more sugar. Stick to water at it will have the exact opposite effect and has zero calories, meaning you can eat more too.

Eating these foods occasionally (once or twice a week), is good for you psychologically. But don’t over do it as these worst foods when dieting can severely hamper your efforts in losing weight and becoming thin! Click FatBodySlim.com to learn to lose weight with the correct diet and foods.
